Thread: Varchar -> Integer[] conversion

Someone have a function that converts a string literal (a varchar
argument) to an integer array?

Thanks,
Gustavo.

It isn't clear from your question if you want this:

select string_to_array('1,2,3'::varchar,',')::int[];
  string_to_array
-----------------
  {1,2,3}
(1 row)

or this:

select array['1'::varchar]::int[];
  array
-------
  {1}
(1 row)

or this:

select array(select '1'::varchar)::int[];
  int4
------
  {1}
(1 row)

or maybe this:

select ('{}'::varchar[] || '1'::varchar)::int[];
  int4
------
  {1}
(1 row)

Please provide more detail on what you need to accomplish.
